SCHWALBE, headquartered in Reichshof-Wehnrath, Germany, is the foremost bicycle tire company in Western Europe and is rapidly expanding its marketshare in North America. With roots tracing back to 1901, Schwalbe created its first legendary tire, the Schwalbe Marathon, in 1983. In 2002, Schwalbe North America was formed and they have been supplying bicyclists here with high quality bike tires (including the very popular pink sidewall Stelvio tires) ever since!
